Am going to monterrey mexico in dec and getting the plication alone i am about 70 lbs over my 'normal' weight should be. I am 30 yo and am super excited. Any advice or suggestions? Will i be able to work after 2 weeks? I am a preschool teacher.

I can't answer all of that just yet as I was just Plicated 2 days ago. I had a lap band (10/24/12) and after a year and 2 revisions later it failed so I had it removed and my doctor did the Plication. I feel good. No nausea or heartburn so far. My stomach feels like it's been used as punching bag (it's sore) but I'm able to drink liquids, broth, popsicles etc... I see here there are not alot of us on the Gastic Plication board... Hope to keep up with you and best of luck!

Ok thanks please keep in touch, especially after the first week to see how you are doing. Thanks
